Has Anyone On Here Used Emgality Injections For Migraines?

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Waco, TX

I was diagnosed with chronic migraines since 2012 and always was told there wasn’t much out there to actually treat migraines till this year when a new doctor prescribed me Emgality monthly injections to help prevent migraines. Has anyone else on here used Emgality? If so, what are your results?

A MyMigraineTeam Member

I have used it (in addition to my regular preventative). I don’t think it has done much for me. You can do an
Emgality IV. It provides you with more of the active components of emgality than the… read more

Does Anyone Have Any Experience With Vestibular Migraines??

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Manchester, NH

I have been dealing with chronic migraines every single day for more than a year now. My doctors have tried me on different preventative medications, I started botox in October and that helped with the pain, but all my other symptoms are still there. I'm constantly dizzy and off balance, there is so much pressure in my head and neck, sometimes intense pressure, my head and ears feel full all the time. I don't know what else to do!! Has anyone else experienced the same? if so, what was the… read more

What Are Your Migraine Triggers And How You Deal With Them?

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Edwardsville, PA

My Triggers are smells,mostly road tar, gasoline,perfume anything that has a strong smell. I try my best not to be around them if I can. I dread going shopping because you can't help but mingle with cologne/perfume that people wear. I ask my friends not to wear them around me.

A MyMigraineTeam Member

Same with me on smells. I’m so sensitive to everything & no one around me really gets it.

Does Anyone Experience Auditory Migraines?

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭

I have chronic migraines with aura which I have been trying to manage for many many years. I have started to experience some other symptoms (balance issues) more recently which I thought was a separate issue. However while doing self research the subject of auditory migraines came up which I was not aware could be a possibility. I am curious if others experience this and what might be an indicator of connection to chronic migraine if it's possible to progress to thos additional symptom (it is… read more

A MyMigraineTeam Member

Yes, music playing! You can hear a toon and a singer nearby but I can’t understand the words. It’s all muffled. It might be Dianna Ross, Country music or Rock a Billy. Things I don’t usually… read more

Anyone Finding Help With CBD?

A MyMigraineTeam Member asked a question 💭
Edwardsville, IL

I take Ubrelvy when a migraine is moderate to severe, but when it's relatively mild I find that a 25mg CBD gel cap helps a lot. Has anyone else had this experience? What about THC?

A MyMigraineTeam Member

I'm off Ubrelvy because of the ridiculous cost. Now I'm on Nurtec, with mixed results. I have tried a THC gummy. Not sure if that was significantly better than CBD alone. Tricky stuff!
